#4 "A popular anti-Japanese guerilla leader."

That's hillarious! He was an officer in a Soviet Army anti-Korean infiltration unit Stalin created in case the Soviets invaded Korea. He was a captain in the Red Army. His rise to power was due entirely to Soviet sponsorship.

Along the way he supressed factions that fought alongside Mao's Army and Homegrown Communists (who fled south).
